Download Water Surfaces Data

Data for modeled EDEN water surfaces are available in two different formats:

In addition, daily median files (the input files used to create the modeled surfaces) and metadata are also provided:

The daily median files (and accompanying reject files) show which stations were or were not used for a given day's surface creation.

NetCDF Files:

NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a set of freely-distributed software libraries and machine-independent binary data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of large array-oriented scientific data. This format replaces the bulky file structure and difficult file management of ESRI GRIDS for EDEN data. It also allows EDEN applications to run on computers without ArcGIS installations.

Each file contains 3 months (one quarter-year) of daily datasets. For example, the data for every day in 2002 will be stored in 4 files: 2002_q1.nc, 2002_q2.nc, 2002_q3.nc, and 2002_q4.nc. In addition, each zip file contains a readme file which contains brief information about release notes related to this data release.

NetCDF Files

File naming conventions:

  • v# = version of surface water model (v1 or v2),
  • r# = release of surface (r1 or r2),
  • prov = provisional,
  • rt = real-time

New: You may download a year's worth of data all at once. Simply click the link below for each year. Because of file size limits, the most you can download at one time is a year. If you need to download several year's worth of data at once, please contact Heather Henkel (hhenkel@usgs.gov) and other arrangements can be made.

 Daily Median Output Files

Each zip file contains 3 months (one quarter-year) of daily datasets. There are two files for each day: a "median" and a "median_reject". The "median" file is the one that was used to create the surfaces for a given day; the "median_reject" file contains a list of the gages not used for that day. A readme file is included with each zip file that includes a short description of each file.

Daily Median Output Files

File naming conventions:

  • v# = version of surface water model (v1 or v2),
  • r# = release of surface (r1 or r2),
